Looking at women warrants... death?
Maybe "Oh, You." Was the early 1900s version of "Nice shoes. Want to fuck?"
36Yes, that's right.
Before 1909, American pop songs could be romantic and even coy about sex. But none were so explicit about adultery as "I Love My Wife — But Oh! You Kid!" about a married man named Jonesy and the young lass who catches his eye.

Apparently it was a big hit and controversial:
“I Love, I Love, I Love My Wife—But Oh! You Kid!” had captured the zeitgeist, that it was a sign—the sound—of the times. It incited countless newspaper editorials, fulminating sermons by preachers, and at least one fatal shooting.
So basically the guy was catcalling her.
45Wow. There's not many feelings better than finding out that some random bullshit that popped in your head is actually correct! Thanks for that!
20Even if the cat-calling implication weren't there, addressing a lady one doesn't know as "Oh, you!" would be bad manners in 1909. Kind of like, "Oi, sweetheart!" is now.
11Once again Everette is vindicated. Plus the woman's expression is clearly uncomfortable. It was a giveaway.

Yeah, clearly the guy is a masher.

Her expression seems to indicate fear? I think Mr. True is picking up on her discomfort. Not that it should warrant a beating, but Mr. True's reactions are often hyperbole.
19If people who made me uncomfortable were faced with random divine retribution, there would be a lot of dead people.
6I think you simply didn’t approach someone on the street like that. It was shocking.
3Maybe a little roughing up.

Maybe he’s trying to sell her something.
